Feed-in Tariff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Feed-in Tariff (FiT, Feed-in Law, FiL, solar premium[1], Renewable Tariff[2] or renewable energy payments [3]) is an incentive structure to encourage the adoption of renewable energy through government legislation. The regional or national electricity utilities are obligated to buy renewable electricity (electricity generated from renewable sources, such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, hydropower and geothermal power) at above market rates set by the government.[4]
